Repro Notes & News -- Issue #105

Our Late Summer Sale begins now! Check out the Sale Room for new stock.
We will add additional product almost every day.

The Walk In sale is Friday Aug 17 and Saturday Aug 18 from 10- 5 pm.
I am doing a History of Chintz lecture early Friday evening and a hands-on
Center Medallion Workshop on Saturday. It is Quilt Weekend in Bozeman
with a chance to attend one of my presentations in Montana! Call to register…507-645-1447.

I am hearing frustration from customers trying to find those ‘favorite
colors’ of the early 19th century. Yes…they were in very short
supply at Quilt Market. We have received two important shipments recently…
Paula
Barnes’ Companions and
Pomegranate with those strong ‘mineral’
colors plus my latest line…
Divers exact in color and scale
for 1863.

Happy Stitches,

Margo

Ps I have a new grandson born Aug 3…Ethan Joseph Frederick. My
maiden name was Joseph.

Changes

Dagama Mills in South Africa has made a change in the Indigo fabrics they
sell internationally. Their new offering, Coral Tree, is 45” wide
with a more traditional ‘hand’ to the fabric. Alas…they
are no longer printing the logos on the back. We still have a selection
of the
traditional shweshwe as well as the new
Coral Tree Indigos
.

After a recent workshop with Elizabeth Clark from the Sewing Academy,
I am buying some fabrics with a slightly different eye…always looking
for pieces that would make great garments! In the past we have carried
a few light upholstery goods that have more of a furnishing fabric scale.
Now when goods arrived….I will denote those prints that are very
suitable for Apparel Yard Goods (AYG) as well as ones for Furnishing Yard
Goods (FYG). Any of these fabrics could easily find their way into quilts
as ‘scraps’!

Center Medallion Quilts can feature either a specially printed panel
or a wonderful fabric piece…such as a toile or a dramatic floral.
We are now offering ‘center
squares’ of appropriate designs. I will be teaching a hands-on
Center Medallion Workshop here in Bozeman, Saturday Aug 18, 2012. Students
can use a Chintz Center Panel or an overall print for their center interest.
